We launched the European Right to Repair campaign during Fixfest! It’s a multi-year coalition campaign to push for longer-lasting products through the Right to Repair
Main asks of the campaign in the short/medium term
• Ecodesign regulations for more products, starting with smartphones
• National registers for repairers in all EU countries, to ensure that as many independent repairers as possible can access spare parts and repair manuals (in their absence, registers will be controlled by manufacturers)
• A EU repairability index, to make repairability scoring of products is visible to all consumers at the point of purchase
Get involved!
In Germany, Italy and the UK, activists are inviting signers of last year’s petitions for strong repair provisions in the EU Ecodesign measures to sign up for updates.
Any individual is encouraged to sign up for updates.
The campaign is asking local groups to “join” through their national networks, and is working on national membership now. The campaign is not restricted to full EU member states, so countries like Norway - and potentially soon the UK, are still very much encouraged to join.
